There's a new contest to promote ALoft -- there's a separate thread on the SPG forum.

There are a few songs on it that I like too now they have been brought to my attention the other night.

Is it just me or does their song Gasoline sound a lot like this song?

Ugh, non-Boxian threads contain more and more :rolleyes: as the days go by. I'm all about having a healthy community but at some point don't we have to crush these fools, ODB style? :confused:

Would it be wrong to start a Talkboard thread that people need to pass an aptitude test before being allowed access? :D

Just went to get an oil change & was told I need a new tire!! Just wasn't prepared to spend the $ today -- want to get the cc bills paid for this month (too many plane tkts charged!) before I charge anything else!!

So my dad just had the brilliant idea that I should come up to BOS for the weekend, so that we could at least have 4/5 of the family for Mother's Day.

This would have been a great time for one of those "weekend getaway" 15K miles+$36 deals...unfortunately, this weekend I can go from EWR to all sorts of far-flung places like YYZ, DAY, GSP, etc. - but not a simple 201 miles up the road. :rolleyes:

And honestly, at this point, the travel time would probably be quite close to equal... drive to Princeton Junction/train to EWR/waiting at the airport/1.5 hr flight/subway from BOS to Cambridge=easily 4 hours, and it's about a 4.5 hour drive if you avoid bad rush hour times. NOT worth the $191, in my book.

There's also the bus idea, though. Looks like I can do either Peter Pan or Bolt Bus for a total of about $60 (including the $20 r/t to get to Penn Station) which would make it about a 5.5 hour trip, but I could sleep/work...hmmmm.

Any opinions on the NYC/Boston bus options? I've taken a grand total of ONE in my life, and it was back in 2002...

People can be amazingly smart but still not be able to think their way out of a paper bag.

Is it wrong of me to think that I should fly to SJC one a one-night turn solely to drop off a resume? Waste of money or great way to impress?
